DWTK - stupid injuries

[Nickerz]

Hmmm surprised I've never seen this...

Cartwheeled a scooter down Francis St past a church congregation. My finest moment got me two titanium pins in my foot which 18 months later still fucking hurts.

Kilometres of mudflats are great for hoonery, no doubt you spent time at the MotoX track as well.
Not only Hospital = Peth but also Hospital = nurses.
Many stupid acts involving firearms vehicles and water in that region but surprisingly few injuries. As children we also used to swim at the Jetty. Less crocs then though.

As a teenager, after a VERY heavy night, I threw half a house-brick at a large road sign without taking into account that I was only about two feet away from it ... the brick rebounded and hit me in the corner of my eye socket. By the time I'd managed to stagger to mates place I was covered in blood from face to my waist, which shocked his mum when she answered the door!

Awesome thread.
MTB riding with mate, I said this looks too dangerous, it raining and we will never make that corner on the downhill! He called me a pussy. I go, slide off track, front wheel drops down and I headbutt embankment. I broke the front off my helmet, torn skin from forehead and chin, and broke my nose. I didn't think I had broken my nose at first as it wasn't bleeding, but the blood was just coming out the side.

I worked in a lumbermill, coworker said we could just dump the wood as it was too heavy to place gently. I dump wood with him on other end under protest saying we were told to do it slowly for a reason, wood bounces, hits me, bruising to upper thigh, ripped cables that go down to nut, surgery and about three months of moving like a zombie.

In a previous life I once owned a Mazda RX7, a particularly unreliable one. One night in the middle of nowhere, it started running like crap (again). I broke into a cold sweat and started having visions of another apex seal being munched so I hastily pulled over for a squiz beneath the bonnet. Much to my relief, a plug lead had just fallen off the coil and the front chamber wasn't running its best.

I had no light at the time, so the only way to see was to start the car and use the light from the headlights to see. After several minutes of trying to get the plug lead into place, I gave up and used my free hand to try and locate the coil so I could guide the lead in. This time, I found it first time, and jammed my index finger directly into the coil of a fast idling motor. I reckon I would have been zapped 5 or 6 time before I could get my finger out again, it hurt all the way up my arm and left me with a burn mark on the end of my finger.

When I was 16 and was an Apprentice Carpenter I was using a Makita power saw with the blade wired back.

Took my finger off the trigger but blade was still going round, tripped, arm holding saw went down and right leg came up. Nice and deep, right through all my muscle and just about to the bone. For a secnd I could see the layer of skin and fat and all my muscle and sinew and then the blood started.....

I really wouldn't recommend it.

years ago when I was a very dumb young MR I can do anything person I .....

moved into a new home with my wifee and the fridge area was enclosed on both sides with the power point on the other side of one of the wooden walls , so I notice they had a hole through it that the power cord went through .. the whole was ONLY big enough for the cord not the fridge plug and I noticed the fridge cord wasnt long enough to reach the wall socket ,so I needed to add a small extention cord.. knowing I had one of those new do-it -yourself plugs in the shed that you can rewire yourself ( licenced sparky not required ) I desided to make my own little short extention cord to fit the location , so off I trundled into my shed to grab all the tools and gear required .. wire clippers,screw drivers,plug and a old extention cord that was too long , I started by plugging the end of the old extention cord into the wall socket to make sure it was a good working cord . as it was I preceded to cut the old plug off one of the ends so the cord would fit through the hole , of cause I made sure the power switch was turned off .. so anyway passed the cord through the hole and down to the fridge to get the rite length, cut the cord to the PERFECT size and preceded to rewire the new plug. dam found I had the wrong size screw driver as you do and I headed to the shed for the rite size .. back to the job in record time I started to peel the wires naked and with one red wire in my mouth and the other in the wire strippers to get more leverage I then woke up on the floor back against the wall on the other side of the room,buzzing in my ears and a very sore and burnt lip .. turned out my wifee thought she would help and plug in the fridge not knowing what i was doing , she turned on the extention cord at the wall and headed outside to get more gear from the truck . I MR DUMB ASS should of checked again on if the power was off or just unplugged it till the job was done ..

VERY lucky to be hear now and I still don't know why it wasnt worse , maybe I just didnt have a good grip on the end which was in my mouth so the moral of the story is check and re-check the power or better still GET A FRIGGEN SPARKY IN

PS ....

the other shameful thing happened when I still was in primary school at the ripe old age of 7 , my mummy brought me the new SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN socks that came up just under the knees and had all the wires,screws,bolts and rods printed on the sides so you looked like steve's bionic legs VERY COOL I thought ... my mates were jeolous and wanted a pair so I thought I would show off and show the lads how powerful these new socks were , I headed over to a old tractor in the play ground and karate kicked the side of the tyre not knowing there was a piece of sharp steel hanging out .. A few hours later I returned to my school and mates with 12 stitchers to the side of my left leg and a torn up bionic sock ... THE moral of this story is don't get into the hype that your new SIX MILLION DOLLAR SOCKS will work

cheers hope these are worthy of being stupid and you lot can learn from my misfortune
